[ATM] RE: Magnalium

[ntent <ntent@pctcnet.net>]

Magnalium, alloy of aluminum and about 5% magnesium. Although weak and 
soft in the elemental state, magnesium alloys with aluminum, manganese, 
zinc, tin, zirconium, and cerium to produce alloys useful in engineering 
materials. The strength and hardness of aluminum increases when it is 
alloyed with such substances as magnesium, manganese, nickel, chromium, 
zinc, iron, copper, and silicon. Magnalium—lighter and more workable 
than aluminum—is used in making metal mirrors and scientific instruments.
Now...... where to get ingots?
